Lab Perspective Study

由专筑网严越，刘庆新编译

我一直不断尝试各种建筑材料，然后我发现我需要一些图像来更直观得在相关环境里比较优劣。建筑形式基本这样，但是我很难在脑海里预见它在环境里的样子。所以我决定用图像来加深建筑和景物的联系。之后可以把图片用做项目的发展。

I had been going back and forth on building materials and realized that I needed to create an illustration that would allow me to visually compare options within the contextual setting. The form is more or less finalized, but I have had trouble envisioning exactly what the site looks like in my head. Therefore, this illustration is pulled out away from the architecture to capture more of the surrounding landscape and allow me to better study this relationship of architecture and landscape. I can then use this illustration as a reference as the design of the project progresses.

1. Sketchup模型

上图就是Sketchup建模，就像我刚刚说的，我还要尝试不同的材料，但是建筑的基本形式就是这样了。模型看着挺简单，但是我也是花时间做了细节的，后面你们会看到。

1. Sketchup Model
Above is the Sketchup at its current state. Like I said earlier, I still need to study material options but the form is more or less finalized. The model looks relatively simple from this far out but I have taken the time to model in better details which will be more visible in later illustrations.

2. V-Ray 渲染

图像先从秋季作为背景，然后我用ps把枯黄的落叶改成春天的景象，但是基本的渲染还是能用的。我隐藏侧板后再渲染了一次，以便在ps里调试侧板的透明度

2. V-Ray Base Rendering
This image actually started off as a fall scene, hence the extremely yellow foliage. I ended up switching to a spring scene in Photoshop, but was able to still use the initial base renderings. I also ran a second rendering with the white side panels turned off so that I could play with the transparency of the side panels in Photoshop.

3. 背景

我改掉了枯叶换上了春天的景象，图片的基调就马上变了。我调整了春天背景的颜色和亮度，又渲染了建筑，让建筑更融入春天的环境。还在建筑的地基上加了绿草，并融入底层图像。

3. Background
Once I removed the baked-in yellow foliage and replaced it with spring colors, the mood of the image changed completely. I tweaked the colors and lighting of both the new spring background image and the rendered architecture so that both had a slightly cooler feel and meshed better together. I also added some grass at the base of the building and spent some time blending it into the background image.

4.  前景色植被和垂直花园

我把植被一直加到前景，改动了灯光效果来体现场地多斜坡的特点，和整体处理不同，我在前景处加深阴影，这样有光亮的建筑就更显得轻盈，也更吸引眼球。建筑底座上加了些爬山虎，这也是我想学习制作这样的场景的主要原因之一。

4.  Foreground Vegetation and Vertical Garden
Next, I introduced the vegetation in the foreground which plays up the hilly features of the site, but also gives me an opportunity to play with the light and drama of the composition. Creating such a strong dark shadow in the foreground amsp up the contrast of the overall illustration and really draws the eye through the trees to the lighter and brighter architecture beyond. Also, ivy was added to the base of the architecture. This was one of the areas that I wanted to study and the main reason for this illustration.

5. 树木

前景和中部的树用以框定建筑。难点主要在，把树调亮来体现靠近建筑的地方树越少。

5. TREES
Next, trees were carefully placed in the foreground and mid-ground to help frame the architecture. Nothing too difficult here except to gradually lighten the trees as they thin out near the clearing.

6. 环境和细节

这个项目是研究实验室，为了加强这个概念，背后要有一个故事支撑，科研人员跋涉一天到达了场地，所以人物要尽量少，又要选择性的突出主题。侧边的透明度和室内的温暖色调也需要调整。关闭半透明面板，在ps里精确调控不透明度和柔和度。

6. Entourage and Details.
Entourage is minimal but selective. The project is of a research lab, so to reinforce this concept, a small narrative is introduced of scientists returning from a long day of research out in the field. Other elements were adjusted such as the transparency of the side screens and the interior warmth. I used a second rendering of the architecture with the translucent panels turned off to allow me to make selections of the interior in Photoshop and precisely control the opacity and softness of the panels.

7. 颜色调整和材质选择

最后重点来了，加一点冷色调，图像就基本完成了，建筑和环境的关系就表达清楚了。我就能开始比较材料了，比较重要的就是地基上的爬山虎是留一点还是像纹理一样铺满。

7. Color Adjustments and Material Options
Finally, I jumped in to Topaz and pushed the image slightly cooler in tone. I now have a completed image that clearly shows the relationship of the architecture to the landscape and that would now allow me to better compare material options. The biggest decision was whether to draw the vegetation up the base of the building or leave it as a hard, but textured surface.
